The Adonis

This poem is a giant metaphor. Love at first sight... it's about a boy.

The Adonis

When I walked down my path 

I never thought that I would encounter a bridge. 

Of everything on the other side...

Nothing seemed to shine but one: 

Adonis. 

I hated that the bridge was out that day 

I was unexpectedly put on pause

I didn't think I'd have to stop and stare

For there you were... 

Laughing 

Free spirited 

Full of hope 

And with adventure 

I sometimes wondered if you could see me 

Or if you just heard the chatter of birds 

In my thought-filled trees, 

Which dropped of rain 

And other things you we wouldn't miss 

I wondered if - to you -  I was invisible 

Or if you just wouldn't give a glance

As I waited I watched 

And heard through every Twitter 

You were about to move on 

As I stayed across the pond

You had no time to waste

And your yearnings turned you around

It's not that you're impatient... 

You just want to move on 

It has been months 

I'd waited 

And watched 

And stood 

When the bridge was finally finished 

You were already down the path 

Down my line 

The Adonis
